  • Create either a CLOSEST TO THE PIN or LONG DRIVE Contest
  • Name the Contest with a Unique Title to not be confused with other contests on your system. 
  • You can create a local contest with start date/time and end date/time to allow the same contest to be found and used on your computer over a few hours or a few days. To Edit these options select the pencil icon next to START DATE or END DATE. 
  • Limit the number of shots allowed for each user. 
  • Set a specific shot distance from the pin (Close to the Pin Only)
  • Set the contest to disqualify shots
  • Set your Contest Location and Hole if desired. To edit the Location select the pencil icon noted just next to the Location option. 

 

4. Once the contest is created you will be able to locate it and join from the Contest List as shown below:

6. As players rank they will be added to the leaderboard. Note: Only the top contestants will be displayed here. The local contest does not keep a running total of all participants or allow exporting of the total ranking, only the leaders are displayed here in the software.

 

If you have additional questions please consult the Foresight Sports Help Desk or the FSX User Guide which will provide a greater understanding of the function of the software. If you do not see what you are looking for in our guides please submit an online TECHNICAL SUPPORT REQUEST
